Prior art

  Prescription drugs are commonly used in the management of a wide variety of medical conditions. The prescription, dispensing and management of pharmaceuticals to patients occurs in clinics, hospitals, nursing homes and at home. When a doctor prescribes a pharmaceutical regime for a patient, a private or hospital pharmacist prepares the prescription and gives them to the ward or nursing home where the patient resides or dispenses them directly to the patient. The enormous amount of handling is associated with the risk of errors in prescribing, dispensing and managing the drug to the patient.

The methods used in the past were based solely on manual activity. Current methods used for drug management for patients using computer systems are error prone because there is no accurate cross-checking means to ensure that what is prescribed is within acceptable limits . This can be done manually by inspection and re-inspection, but since there is no easily accessible table of acceptable medications, current inspections are based on the knowledge of medications required. Even with the use of computerized introduction of some aspects of pharmaceutical prescribing and management, in extreme cases there still remains unacceptable error rates that can lead to death, overdose / underdose Yes. The main disadvantage of existing software is that they cannot identify various types of calculation errors without long manual checks that can lead to dose errors and, in extreme cases, death. There are a significant number of relevant patents, journal articles, websites, technical literature, or other publications explaining previous challenges and attempts to solve problems,

Accompanying the program is an integrated program or stand-alone program 22 (dose confirmation software) that receives medication data from a prescriber associated with a medication prescribed to a particular patient. The caregiver checks the medication label at station 23 for medication treatment and checks the medication of one or more medications normally defined by the prescribing physician and labeled by the pharmacist. After confirmation of administration at station 23, there will be an error 24 or no error in the prescribed medication-confirmation of station 25. If an error is detected, the caregiver calls the prescribing physician or pharmacist (station 26) to correct the medication. The dosing error check can thus be repeated.

  FIG. 4 shows a schematic design diagram of an administration error detection system 30 according to an alternative embodiment used in a private home or the like. A caregiver, who may be a caregiver, checks the medication label at station 31 and checks the dosing of one or more medications normally defined by the prescribing physician and labeled by the pharmacist. At station 31, a user using the app, associated with a computer, ipad, iPhone, android or computer, typically inserts patient parameters into the app or computer program. The dosing confirmation software 32 receives dosing data from the user associated with the medication prescribed to or for the user. After the dosing confirmation at station 33, there will be an error 34 or no error 35 confirmation in the prescribed medication. If an error is detected, the user can inform the pharmacist and / or prescribing physician (station 36) to obtain the correct medication. Dosing error checking can thus be repeated

  The dosing confirmation software includes all medications and medications, advantages, duration of medication for a particular pharmaceutical, active ingredients, generic and applicable barcodes that are applicable. Prescription medications and medications are usually related to the patient's age, sex, and weight. It also has other relevant data such as body mass index and drug and dosing suitability for specific patient parameters. The user can select one or more of the above parameters to activate the comparison information in the database to ensure appropriateness for a particular class of patients and prescribing errors to the patient It is intended to ultimately guarantee that it cannot be passed. The software also includes a facility that calculates dosing at any previous stage that is inconsistent with the stored data. The software app confirms the entered dose or proposes an alternative dosing if an error or other anomaly is detected with the initial input data. The recommendation can be skipped. Updates are available, for example, to cross-check administration if the dosing regime may be updated.

  Depending on the preferred embodiment, the system is integrated with an application (computer app) that facilitates the convenient establishment of records, recall of existing records and cross-checking. Depending on the preferred embodiment, the method incorporates a computer program, computer application, etc. that retains data that provides a reference for comparison of prescription or drug management data. Such a database of data such as pharmacological medical, nursing and similar data that allows cross-checking between prescribing data and acceptable ranges and parameters for management to the patient for whom the drug is prescribed. Edited from various data sources. The user can choose one reference to check against the database.

  In fact, health practitioners prescribe medications for specific recipients, which may be hospital patients, nursing home residents or pharmacist customers, for example. ) And at the management end-hospital nursing homes, etc. Although checks occur at each stage, errors really occur and this can sometimes be passed down the line without being checked if it occurs at the prescriber end. Users of the application according to the present invention are pharmacists, nurses, doctors and others in pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, nursing homes whose role is to manage medicines.

  Depending on one embodiment, the program incorporates a combined set of data from a number of reference sources or a set of data from a single source. The source of the data may be from national or international databases related to pharmacological prescribing management and safety, including medication regimes.

  According to one embodiment, the application comprises from a drug and medical program based reference coupled from the program to the existing prescription software along with a data bank. Instead, the application comprises stand-alone software used by health providers. The software will use references from national and international sources. The software can be integrated by health professionals into existing prescription software and compared with updated data in references and guidelines. Dosing calculations can be checked to alert health professionals about errors and allow for correct dosing management depending on the patient's age, weight, liver function, kidney function, etc.

  One benefit of the present invention is that the software was designed to check the liquid dosing administration calculations for certain parameters that vary from patient to patient to make the dosing fit for each patient. If there are any changes in dosing, the software will alert the user. Current regimes for error checking do not distinguish between patient age, weight, liver and kidney function. This software allows for adjustments within the safety margin to account for parameters that could interact with the dose.

  Preferably, in addition to the basic functionality of the software in error checking, it also provides facilities for medical and drug reference and updates, user manuals, update licenses, multilingual versions, links to troubleshooting sections.

The content includes charts, diagrams, experimental data, and flowcharts that may help in explaining the invention.

  Consumers get apps that include, but are not limited to, data such as billing coding, fee medical benefits listings and an integrated listing of health funds. The initial screen prompts the user to fill in new data associated with the patient drug regime and patient parameters. If there is a prescription for a patient whose prescription has been previously checked, patient data is recognized and no additional input is required. If the patient is already established in the database, the display screen will prompt for patient identification and will show a patient profile that includes other data such as past medications, previous prescription check dates, and referring physician .

  The benefit of the present invention is that medical practitioners or other health care providers can minimize errors or omissions and increase their reward through better efficiency and reduced errors. A further benefit is that processing costs are minimized due to reduced errors. A further benefit is that it now reduces errors that make the health budget spend millions of years each year because electronic devices allow for error checking at all stages of pharmaceutical prescribing and management.

  The practitioner can enter the data into the electronic device by manual entry or scanning data. Once the data is in the electronic data storage device, the data is delivered directly to an online provider that can check the data for errors.

  The present invention allows physicians, pharmacists, nurses and other health professionals to access a reference database and upload prescription data for cross-checking as needed. The present invention streamlines and fully integrates the prescription data error checking process that is critical to pharmaceutical management operations.

  The main benefit is the time savings associated with ease of access via modern handheld devices to error checking and checking software. The risk of effects from making mistakes is minimized so that practitioners are less liable and patients or pharmaceutical users avoid unwanted effects of prescribing errors.

  It should be understood that various changes and modifications to the presently preferred embodiments described herein will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
